what could have gone wrong?

I am using the member API and have set my Session("user") and session("Password") variables however it is just not autoregistering the users.

It was working okay, and I'm not too sure what I have done other than delete some autoregistered users from the database table rather than via the control panel. Could this break it? I still have my admin user and guest user in there.

These are set in the memberapi.asp page.

Const blnMemberAPI = True

Const blnMemberAPIDisableAccountControl = True

any ideas?

thanks

Mike

Deleting users directly from the database is not something we support as it can break your database.

Hopefully before you did this you backed up your database, in which case you should go back to your backed up database.

This is just a dev version at this time, but I need it for a demo first thing tomorrow morning (as is always the case). I can reapply the whole database but I dont really want to as it will lose all my settings.

Would deleting these few rows really have broken it?

I have restored my code and created a new database, and its still not autoregistering?

What should I be looking for?

thanks

It sounds like it could be that your site is unable to handle session variables.

Session variables only work on the same site and can not be shared between sub domains.

To check that the session variables are being passed across edit the file common.asp and add into is:-

Response.Write(Session("USER"))

I have just noticed that the variables are not what they are meant to be they should be Uppercase:-

Session("USER") = Member_Username
Session("PASSWORD") = Member_Password
Session("EMAIL") = Member_Email
